As many of you may know, the goal of the App Center is to provide a concise selection of high quality Linux applications for common tasks.

With 3.0.0 this summer, I'd like to start examining what applications we list on our App Center since this hasn't been done in awhile. Are there things listed there now that are no longer relevant/maintained? Has a new piece of awesome software popped up that we should be listing that we aren't?

Remember - the App Center is NOT supposed to be an exhaustive list of software like the Ubuntu Software Center or Synaptic provide. Ideally I would like 3+ options for each type of software we provide install links for with a cap of five or so.

I've been using Opera as the main browser for two years but Linux version has been long in the tooth lately, with no new edition in sight. Perhaps offering Chrome or showcasing some light-weight browser might be preferable.

I'd also like to see Teamviewer in the App center. I've tried to install it from their website and it doesn't quite work with Bodhi yet.

Joris (our web master) is actually working on a revamped website for the 3.0.0 release - this will included a sorely needed updated App Center that should make things easier to find and look much nicer.

Given Mozilla's new Adverts, should we think about removing it from the App Center?

To stick with the rule of three maybe replace it with another browser...but it should have apturl support. Something like IceWeasel perhaps. I know it is based on Firefox so apturl support should be there. Since it is a fork of firefox it probably is not including the ad structure.

Opera, Chromium, Midori and Firefox. Also, it's not like removing from the App Center will preclude it's installation, it just takes away the 'Bodhi Recomends' implication.

Three currently in the APPCenter. Midori comes standard in the install. I agree...removing firefox (if chosen to do so) would remove the implication of a recommendation, but it would also take the browser section down to two recommendations.

That's why I suggested, replacing it with another browser with apturl support...Such as IceWeasel or any other one. So the APPCenter would still "recommend" three.

I really like the clean design of Bodhi web site. I think the home page is very elegant. While AppCenter might use a re-design I hope that the whole web site doesn't get changed TOO much.Just my 2cents...
